I think that has been solved. An update to the CVS tree has been
made on Apr. 20, which means it isn't in the 1.5.2 distribution.

Update of /projects/cvsroot/python/dist/src/Lib
In directory eric:/projects/python/develop/guido/src/Lib

Modified Files:
        popen2.py 
Log Message:
Calling _cleanup() does not guarantee that all processes have
terminated; this makes the final assert in the self-test code fail if
the parent runs faster than the children.  Fix this by calling wait()
on the remaining children instead.
